one of the young ladies of the family
missed a diamond ring, which, it was
supposed, had been stolen from the

and saying that something of interest
could be learned by calling at a desig

JUDGE AnLISON, of .Philadelphia, has
held that under the law of Pennsylvania
a sale of goods by sample does not
amount to a warranty that the article
sold and to be delivered shall correspond
in quality with the sample. He says
the risk is that of the purchaser, who
must "beware of the seller" in all such
purchases. But he adds that where "a
sample is made the standard of quality,
an implication of warranty arises, as
where the buyer orders goods of the
same quality as the sample or the soller
undertakes to deliver them of the same
quality." Inaamauch as all the grain sold
in hulk and nearly all the merchandise
of the country is sold by sample and
can be traded in with expedition in nc
other way, it might be well to hold the
sellers to a stricter responsibility than im
implied in Judge Allison's decision.

" Cash 1189!" shrieked a fema'e

"It's Miss Pringle. I nu,t go,"
whispered .Johnny, and sped away in
terror.
''here Were teni cash boys in the store.
1.1d they had been nu mbered high to
Ollnld well.
Air. Btloom peeped around the boxes
it the clOck, saw he lad te"n muinutes
nore to hims1el, andi opened the paper.
l'he first thing his eys lighted upon
was an advertisement of a fine country
;eat for sae, and he road it through1
the descrit.ionl of the stables. barns.
bath-tubs, < onser, atory, veranda, lawn
and kitchen garden; t.he well, the octa
gon parlors and the cupola; the tiled
halls and frescoed (ci;ings, as t hough he
intended to buy it for himself thatafter
noon.
Then he cast his eye upot. an account
of how Mr. Alullen had beaten Mrs.
Slullen, and been arrested for so doing;
and then he fomlnd himself reading a
p'agraiph to the effect that tlie hoirs of
I'imothy Bloom. of Lancaster, England,
if living, anight hear of something to
their advantage by applying to ,Jone. &
Johnson, - street.
" ly mnme," thought Mr. Bloom, at
first. Then, with a start, he remem
bered that lie ha<I heard iisgrandfather
was named Timothy. lt'rltainly, ho
camo from Lancaster, England. IIis
father, D>avid liloou, had teen an only
son. li was an only son himself.
Well, then, /- was Timlothy lilooii's
heir, if it should pro.. e that the Timothy
Bloom in<lulret for was reaily his fath
or's fat her.
liut., oh, psha!'' maid A\r. Bloom.
"'This sort of thing couldn't happen to
71e1. It's some other Timothy, not poor
old grand'ather." And he copied the
address of ,1on1es & Johnson into his
pocket-book, utul wenit back to his
coluhter <iuite calmly, tlhoug_h he wrote
to .Jo nes & .1(1tisonl t hat. night.
1lowever, wondiers will never ee:se.
When Tim liloom, the ineekest of all
y<mng ,iliall(mln, wenit hioIl- that1 Satlur
lay evening witI a "deluct((d" salary
and a scolding, he found Al. .'ohii lson
himlsel in his boarding-holi e parlor,
and an exiamination of the family Itiblo
in his possession, anti of a certain bun
dile of yellow letters that 1\1r. Bloom
had iore than on:'e decide<d to h nrn,
but had, fortunately, spared, sett led the
matter. Half a million of moley had
eomile to him in the rerular course of I a
ture, :uid lie wa. riPIer not only than
Alr. ('rabbe, but than any of his most
fashionable euStomers.
It was a wonderful surprise to little
Tim Bloom, and le searcelv grasped
the idea at lirst. Even after he told
his chief confidant, his lainilady's 1 ret
tv grand-daughter, Mehitable White,
a pretty, pink-cheeked, capable damsel,
called letty, for short-he only went
so far as to think of a pair of 'patent,

"Oh! certainly," said Mr. Crabbe.
Timothy opened the letter, read it,

urned purple.
"Dlo I understand it?" said Timothy,
aiding his face.
"Your lawyer says the property 's no
